Pepper Stew

One of the most eaten delicacies in Nigeria is stew and it comes in varieties having slight modifications in different parts of the country. There is hardly a restaurant you walk into that doesn’t have this side dish on their menu. If you don’t have stew on your menu, then you are not ready for business as it goes well with staples like yam, rice, plantain, potatoes etc.

It is easy to prepare and very versatile…you can make it with fish, meat, mushrooms, snails, sea food and many more. I love to change my stew recipes as I easily get tired of the same old tatse, so I explore…using all sorts of meat and vegetables from time to time.

For this stew, I am using fermented locust beans which has a not too pleasant smell but is highly delicious. It will change your stewing experience. 🙂 Hold on, this is not the Yoruba Ayamashe but is similar.

Wow! Been a while too!!!! 1st of all Matse, I would like to be prompted when u post recipes, can that work? This looks delicious and appetising hmmmmm. Will give it a shot as I get home this evening, but wud use beef, goat meat, chicken and pork hoc. Well done @ photography, not the usual everyday style of photography, its interestng to note that your stew posed for a recipe shoot. Lol
